yes. I realise this now. Note to self, define what it is you are
trying to do before trying to do it :( I could have saved so much time
if I'd been clearer on that earlier.

Hmm. I've ended up using getfsfile. I'm just checking that the first
4 characters of .fs_spec are /dev
I am working on the assumption that all filesystems I want to check
would be mounted out of /dev. Other things like proc and devfs
wouldn't be, so they would be skipped.
Is this a safe assumption ?

Yes, I am. The kernel is faaaaaar beyond me for the forseeable
future.
Thanks for all the help. Merry Christmas and a hacky new year to all :)
